I think the idea of combining "Bookmarks" & "Go" into the same menu is a
good one. I think replacing the word "Go" w/ "Places" would make more
sense though. "or just plan old look better"

As for including Bookmarks into the sidepane: I think that would also be
nice, but only if it we're easily switchable. I hate having to go
through more then one step "or click" to get to things like that.
